Microblogs – Jaiku and Twitter

17/10/2008

Most part of my life is invested in front of the same screen you are seeing now, perhaps this is the same way I make green paper, for this reason I am not a big fan of things that make me lose time, a.k.a. social networks. But when things got too hot on Twitter, I registered to see what it really was, left my account there with nothing but my name and zero posts.

Today we launched our first pilot of the VexBox Mobile Hotspot solution.
